400 guesses why I like this shot

By far the coolest Nikon 'new toy' picture yet! BCS suggests a road trip to pick up a new grip.
Ofcourse I agree. Once there I whine and complain to the sales guy "how come you never have anything for me to play with?"
His response - "I'll be right back". Out he comes with a box the size of a bar fridge and a smile just a large!
Once I got this beast mounted and my heart beat slowed down, I snapped of some shots while figuring out in my head
whether or not I can out run the sales staff. Nope, not with this beast!
BCS got the grip - I left empty handed, but I had more fun!
Great road trip.

PS: This is hand held at 1/40th of a second!!

Or is that 8000 reasons to think about this shot? At least you had some fun while BCS dropped some cash.

Congrats on Brennan getting that grip now he just has to cram it with a EN-EL4a like I did and go shot some sports at 8FPS....great image of Brennan by the way Brad..glad you had a good trip.....maybe, just maybe some day I will make it out that way..and I will collect Glenn first...

Funny thing is that the 80-200 2.8 lens you are seeing really isnt that dirty! So, I guess this 400 2.8 makes all others lenses look terrible, making it look EVEN better! Now.. what pic and I going to post? Awesome road trip and a good buy for me to boot!
